We’ve been excited about the Blood and Fire episode of the fan produced Star Trek Phase II series for months. It’s now available – though only if you download it (as of Dec 27, 2008 at least) without an option for a streaming web version – yet *UPDATE** It’s on YouTube we’ve linked the episodes below!!.

Yet though this episode has some of the best special effects EVER for a fan made Star Trek flick – some of the early chatter has been about the 3.5 minute homo-erotic scene. While it’s not my own particular preference – it’s fair to have this considering that the original Trek was full of its own gratuitous scenes and no one can argue that Jeri Ryan’s super-tight outfit on Voyager served any practicial purpose other than to stimulate males of all ages. (That said I wonder if the Star Trek New Voyages ppl could line up someone that would agree to a skin tight Jeri Ryan outfit...)

That small scene aside – this is an AWESOME first part of an episode that is superior to anything i’ve seen yet from Star Trek XI. Too bad this is set for the big screen. Best line – Kirk’s nephew is a ‘red’ shirt – so Scotty say – ‘Relax Jim we don’t put bullseyes on the red shirts anymore!”

I thought the first book was awesome, the second book was also ridiculously incredible. But this third one – well how many more superlatives can you say about one series?

The real shocker in this book is how it pulls together the two distinct threads of the series namely the Caelier and the Borg. The way that David Mack weaves the two plots together is brilliant – though I do have some questions…

***SPOILER ALERT*** IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK STOP READING THIS REVIEW NOW***

Miller will write and direct his own big-screen take on the comic serial; while the creator has only begun to sketch ideas, it’s expected to be a darker take, with many of Miller’s signature visual elements and themes, such as corruption and redemption.

It’s likely to be a priority project for Miller, though he has been mulling a “Sin City” sequel.

Majel Barrett Roddenberry – wife of the Star Trek Creator, voice of Star Trek ships old and new, mother of Deanna Troy – has passed away at the age of 76.

According to reports Majel Barrett Roddenberry died Thursday of leukemia at her home in Bel-Air, Calif.

No other person has been involved with Star Trek from its inception in the 60’s all the way to 2009 and the Star Trek XI movie where Majel’s voice will be the voice of the Enterprise yet again.

While nurse chappel was cute it was as Lwaxana Troi that we think she showed her true comedic genious. Everyone that has ever seen Star Trek the Next Generation has a favorite Lwaxana Troi moment. I still crack a grin everytime i think of her calling Worf – Mr Woof.

Legendary SF author Philip K. Dick would have been 80 today (were he alive). Philip Kindred Dick born December 16, 1928 died on March 2, 1982.
Our fav Philip K. Dick novel remains the Man in the High Castle, but there really are so many others that are worthy aren’t there?

Dick was different than what we were used to – and took a dark twisted look at reality that in our view has yet to be replicated in SciFi by any other author.

We’ve seen the body transfer thing a dozen or more times already – this one was not nearly as good as the SG-1 episode when Daniel Jackson and Vala got transfered – remember they almost got burned at the stake!

Still basicly good fun – it’s just we really wish that we’d get something MORE seeing as this series is capable of MORE and we’re almost done.

If I had written the final three or four episodes of Atlantis you can bet your Wraith hating soul that it would be a massively engaging four part cycle that engaged everything we all know and love about Atlantis. If the last two episodes are anything like this one – the show will go out with a whimper instead of a bang.
